Education

edit

Eisen completed his undergraduate studies atHarvard College in 1990, earning anAB degree in biology.[12] He graduated as aDoctor of Philosophy fromStanford University in 1998 with a thesis on the evolution of DNA repair genes, proteins, and processes in 1998, supervised byPhilip Hanawalt.[13]

Research

edit
Eisen featured in a comic strip byJorge Cham on the occasion ofOpen Access Week 2012.

Eisen's research[3][14][15] focuses on the origin of novelty, how new processes and functions originate in living things. To study this, he focuses on sequencing and analyzing genomes of organisms, especially microbes and usingphylogenomic analysis.

Eisen, together withNick Barton,Derek E.G. Briggs, David B. Goldstein, and Nipam H. Patel, authored the undergraduate textbook,Evolution, that integrates molecular biology, genomics, and human genetics with traditional evolutionary studies.[4] According toGoogle Scholar[3] his most cited peer-reviewed papers are on the genome sequence ofPlasmodium falciparum,[16] sequencing theSargasso Sea[17] and a paper on the genome ofThermotoga maritima.[18]

Prior to working at UC Davis he was an Investigator atThe Institute for Genomic Research.

Eisen and his work is routinely discussed in the scientific and popular press. Examples include a New York Times article on the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea in 2009[19] and extensive coverage of work on searching for a "fourth domain" of life.[20][21] In addition, Eisen's blogging and microblogging work is frequently written about.[22][23][24] His brotherMichael Eisen is also a biologist.

Awards and honors

edit

Eisen was awarded theBenjamin Franklin Award (Bioinformatics) in 2011 and theEsquire Magazine's Best and Brightest in 2002.[25] He was awarded the Walter J. Gores Award, Faculty Achievement Awards for Excellence in Teaching.[1] He was elected a Fellow of theAmerican Society for Microbiology (FAAM).[2] He was awarded the UC Davis ADVANCE Scholar Award in 2019, for his work to improve gender equity in STEM through teaching, research, and service.
